A hard-bitten crew of professional thieves pull off the score of their lives, coming away with seven million in cash. Like any heist there are some unforeseen complications, and unfortunately they don’t get away without a few bodies dropping. But despite this, they get away with the swag. Seven million. Enough to change their lives, make new identities, start fresh. But that’s when the real trouble begins...
In this unique, riveting, linked anthology, we follow each member of the crew of culprits as they go their separate ways after the heist, and watch as this perfect score ends up a perfect nightmare.
Featuring stories penned by acclaimed writers Brett Battles, Gar Anthony Haywood, Zoë Sharp, Manuel Ramos, Jessica Kaye, Joe Clifford and David Corbett, CULPRITS examines what happens next to these criminals once they take their cut and go their separate ways, only to find that the end of the heist was the beginning of their troubles.
What an absolutely fantastic idea for a book! I've never really thought about what happens after the heist when you see the criminals heading off into the sunset with their bags of cash...so Richard Brewer and Gary Phillips challenged seven authors to write the characters' story after the heist.
It's an anthology book but it's written so seamlessly that you don't even notice that each chapter is written by different authors. I read it a lot quicker than I expected as I couldn't put it down at the end of each chapter.
Dark, gritty and sometimes grisly, Culprits is a cracking anthology that any crime fiction fan will love. I'm not surprised it has already been made into a TV show and it's definitely going on my watch list.
I received a digital ARC to read and review and this is my honest and unbiased opinion.
